A letter from a Filipino Teenager

The previous news was a shock not only to the Filipino people but to the world as well. The hostage drama in Manila, drew the world’s eyes on our small country once again.

Yesterday, I posted a reaction to what was happening and how wrong it went. And as I was scanning the net, I found an article written by a Filipino Teenager, an apology, a letter asking for forgiveness and understanding. Here it is:

As you are reading this letter, I bet that you have seen/heard about what happened earlier in our country.

Tourists were hostages of a policeman here, Rolando Mendoza. After a few hours of the horrible crime, some of the victims were dead including the hostage-taker.

I wrote this letter not just to apologize but also to let everyone know that we

Man’s Emotional Heart – May Lead to Uncontrolled Hand

Man’s heart is one of most serious problem of teen ager. Broken heart teens may lead to serious problem such as uncontrolled emotion and decision. A man who feels rejection because of a lady might hide what the problem really is, he may find different activities trying to forget and escape the serious problem of his heart. A problematic man might not consult his friends to become his shock absorber, some just prefer to be alone and never to tell anybody. Unlike ladies, they can easily express there own emotional heart by crying and by consulting to there fellow lady. On the other side, a man might be nerd or idiot on his actions just to find ways to ease the pain he may feel. Sometimes we cannot understand what we are doing or just deciding like there is no tomorrow.

It may be sounds different but man are purely different when it comes to emotion. We feel that if we cry in front of people, we are not a brave man. They say that “boys don’t cry”, it means we don’t cry in public, but only in private places when we are alone. A man is different from a lady that they have a crying fellow ladies, but man cannot cry even in front of his best friend.

Birth Spacing

Birth Spacing is the time or interval of one child’s birth to the next child’s birth. Why we need to consider birth or pregnancy spacing. There are several reasons why this is important, first is  the restoration of the mother’s health. It is also recommended six months or more after breastfeeding is essential for a woman before being pregnant again. This will help a lot on the recovery and restoration of mother’s health and maybe ready for the next pregnancy.

In countries like Philippines, it is common that the interval is only a year. Some mother are pregnant yearly. The risk of poor health for mother is high and low vitamins and minerals from breastfeeding can be an effect. Doctor advice that the right Birth Spacing would be 2.5 years to 3 years that will give the full restoration of mother’s health.

Sex – Effects To Your Relationship

Last night I was reading the whole magazine and this topic interest me a lot, I already know the answer why premarital sex must be avoided but this helps me to always heed reminders. It is alarming that most teens right now are doing teen sex, even students in different colleges and universities think that sex before marriage is normal, and those who didn’t do it are not enjoying life at all. But they are wrong. Consider reading this brief article and you will find out why.

You are might be curious on doing sex with your girlfriend, but remember that things can dramatically change for you and your love, it is not for better but for worst. You might see people who do it as a happy person like in movies and seems like it is true love, remember that it is far different from reality. Why not wait for the right time where you can fully enjoy sex without worries and regrets? You might still be tempted and think that nothing will happen to you, and don’t seem any hurting. But i just want to share this reality to all of you. 

If you are a man, if you truly love the lady,  you shouldn’t ask her for a sex. If you are lady and you love your man, you shouldn’t temp him to have sex with you. Maybe a man will say that “if you truly love me and you are willing to spend my life with me, have sex with me”, remember that this words are simply selfish and after doing sex you will be wake up with realization. Kindly examine the four rude awakening:

The first one is “Distress”, almost all who engaged in sex before marriage are experiencing regrets. The second one is “Distrust”, trust will be lost and each partner will wonder who else has his or her partner had sex with? or Asking if she or he is still really a virgin. Next is “Disloyalty”, after having sex, a man or woman would almost want to change partner and try another sex, this will gives disloyalty to the relationship. And lastly “Disillusionment”, a girl, would have preferred someone who would protect her and not to use her. After having sex, your moral standard will almost ruin. So pollute your mind that sex before marriage is not fun as you seen in movies like a real love story, but sex is a disaster that you are inviting.

On the other hand, many man prefer ladies who didn’t engaged in sex before marriage, because they want the trust and loyalty will stay. Now if you do those mistakes, all you have to do is readjust, but remember that you cannot return the past and you are one of the many unlucky person who will not fully enjoy life in marriage.

Pay It Forward

Remembering the movie “Pay it Forward” where when someone help you, you can pay it by helping other people too. Even you won’t pay to the one helped you, but most important is you are not selfish to help others.

In this world we live, some are lucky and some are not, but think about it, we are humans. We must live equally and everybody must be treated without any discrimination. Teaching is known as the noblest profession, even you are not a teacher in profession, you can be one of them by sharing your ideas freely and giving other people with care.

If you have the quality of a kind person, why not share with others. A simple giving will give an evidence to it, especially when it’s from your heart. Giving by heart is something that money can’t buy, it is something that no one can give a value that is deeply appreciated.

Why Not To Hope?

“Time will come nobody believes on impressive promises and trust will be dissolve. It is better not to hope and prepare than expecting something which is not given for you. It is always true that early communication is the best way for understanding than you will be notified after the time you are prepared and adjusted, that will almost let your effort on hoping and waiting for nothing.”

Why not to hope? It doesn’t mean anyway that you shouldn’t trust anybody. But you must know in the first place if it is really sure to avoid expectations and problems for yourself when the time is near. You might ask yourself, what if it didn’t happen?, Am i sure that it will really happen? If you have doubt on it, you better not to expect or give hope. This will give you a better peace of mind not to prepare and expect.

This applies not only to others but also to you. Don’t give promises or expectations for people which you really don’t mean it. You better say it as soon as possible the real situation, there might be a little problems, but acceptance is easy, appreciation and understanding is always there. If there is a problem, don’t hide, this will give you a respect and trust for being open and preventing preparations and discouragement.

Man’s Weakness Are Ladies – Girl Can Kill A Boy In Seconds

This can be true with a weak heart of a man. Weakness of a man can be ladies and the greatest enemy is exploding painful heart after broken or chronic misunderstanding. Man cannot easily share problems with others unlike ladies they just cry to let the pain inside goes out. Boys don’t really cry even they are alone, they hide the hard feelings inside with a simple smile and give a lies that they are okay.

A tragic death to 23 year old Christian Angelo Manhilot / Montano, Cesar’s Son, which he was found dead in their home at Yakal St., Tivoli Royale, QC lately this morning because of suicide. It was reported that he shot himself and dead on arrival in hospital.

Man must think that life is very important and it is a sin to commit suicide. It might be hard for a man to cope up with a problem specially when the woman doesn’t know about the real feelings of a man. Most ladies don’t know what makes a man, or they don’t know how man give heart to a lady, because of a trademark that man are cheaters. But they should also know that they must not always test a man’s heart, or even take the advantage since they know that the man’s heart belongs to them.

In my story, a lady almost try to make my heart miserable, she don’t like me but she still try to convince me that she love me even she is not sure on what she fell. Hard pains occur on my heart and almost try to commit undesirable mistakes, and thankfully it didn’t happen. Only to found out that she only do “Pagpapaasa” or letting man hoping for nothing. This leads me to great broken heart in my whole life that my life almost means nothing. Leaving me pains and hard feelings inside, and she even didn’t try to pay her debt on time that leads me to freely give it to her for the reason that i wouldn’t be disturb by her anymore.

Maybe your pass may be similar, and we can call ourselves as survivor from a lady who don’t deserve us. Remember that if a door close, another one will open. It is not true that “you won’t find love anymore if its not her”, it is also not true that “nobody can make you happy except her”. This proves wrong and I also prove myself wrong. Present life can be full of struggles and past life can be full of mistakes. Whatever past you have, riches from work, beauty of a lady and fame cannot satisfy man’s heart. It is always good to know that a beat of a heart of a man will come to the right time and a right place, and pains are just a dream while a man is sleeping. If your heart still in pain, then you should wake up, if you are old already, you should wake up now to see the morning day waiting for you and don’t let the darkness and night will let you know that it is too late and makes your life broken until your death. Never sleep during daytime because life is too short and live most out of it, don’t plan to wake up when it is already afternoon as it is a signal that night will come. Wake up now while it is still not too late and don’t let your broken heart tell you that the day has no sun at all.

Too bad, Christian Angelo Manhilot / Montano didn’t survive and end up with a tragic story of his life. It is a lesson that everybody should know.

Rainbow At Last Even El-Niño Is Here

Rainbow at last, after many hot days. Philippines experienced a slight rain shower. The country right now is experiencing the so-called “El nino” where the temperature is almost hot and water seems to be hard to find.

Farmers are having a hard time to plant, places are dry that needs to have a rain shower to gain the life back. El nino experience is one of the hard days in the Philippines where air is warm and gives inconvenience to living things.

That is why we are thankful to have a rain shower yesterday and succeeded by a beautiful rainbow in our way.
I also want to thank the tricycle driver who gives a considerable fare from the school to the mall, hope drivers may have a Christian personality in business like the driver did.

Friendship – There is Something That Money Can’t Buy

Have you ever try buying a gadgets where you are the only person owning it, how about living in a big house with fully furnished materials. Think of it, you have everything, but you are alone. It is not cool, because you can buy everything in this world but you cannot buy the trust of every person living.

Friendship is one asset where it makes a person rejoice. Finding true friends can be difficult, trusting people may takes time. But once you have them, true friends won’t leave you alone, they will never take you into trouble and they are always there for you when you have a problem.

Conflicts may arise, but it is a way for your friendship to be stronger. Value the friendship that you have, it is something that money can’t buy, and it is an asset that even the riches man in the world may don’t have.
